Millennium Edition: The Man of Steel

    (DC, 2000)
™ and © 2000 DC Comics

To celebrate the end of one millennium and the beginning of another, DC Comics published a series of Millennium Editions that reprinted significant books from the Golden, Silver, Bronze, and Modern Ages of comics. One of the featured reprints was the first issue of The Man of Steel, the mini-series from writer/artist John Byrne that rebooted Superman’s corner of the DC Universe and received more than passing attention from the news media. It features the retelling of the Metropolis Marvel’s origin that has guided his various creative teams since 1986. According to Robert Greenberger’s included text piece, Byrne “grew up reading the comics and watching the show…knew what he liked and didn’t like,” and when he put it all together, he crafted an absolute classic.
